Best Overall Racing Game

Does a racing game need other vehicles in it to be considered a racing game? In Trials' case, no. Even though Evolution's challenges are mostly physics- and obstacle-based, you're racing against both the clock and your own nerves in order to post the purest runs with the fastest times. Ghosts of both friends and global leaders can haunt, inspire, and even educate you, while the collection of tracks is both plentiful and wildly varied. From the Limbo-inspired silhouetted track (complete with floaty physics to match the game it's paying homage to) all the way to the 10+ minute "Gigatrack," nothing is impossible in Trials Evolution, even when you might be convinced it is. Plus, its four-player circuit-race multiplayer and track editor (where other users' creations are free to download) mean you're never going to run out of new content.
